Heralded as one of the biggest independent rock bands in history, DISPATCH officially split up in 2004 with a farewell show in Boston that drew 110,000 people and was dubbed as the largest independent music event in history (Rolling Stone). Three years later, the band came back together for three consecutive shows at New York City’s Madison Square Garden in ties to their philanthropic work in Zimbabwe, becoming the first independent band to sell out the historic venue.
In 2011, the band officially reunited to release new material, including a six-song EP and their first full-length studio album since 2000, Circles Around the Sun. They have since embarked on multiple sold out arena tours across the globe and have just released their most ambitious musical effort to date, America, Location 12, during Summer 2017.
